'A' 'A' 'A' Soft spoken Miss Mottey prepared seniors for the all important task of writing term papers. English literature and grammar made life more interesting under her tutelage. As the Courant advisor, she taught two classes of journalism. Junior English and social science were Miss Mutter's special fields. A dramatic whiz, she found time to stage those memorable assem- blies and class plays. The head of the English department, most ex- acting Mr. Olson, taught senior English and pub- lic speaking. He expertly coached the Debate Club to many wins in their favor. Mrs. Schoch, a word-lover herself, aroused 'A' t 'A' i i 'A' 'ir 'k 'k i' 'A' an appreciation of them and of American litera- ture in her iunior English students. Very enthusi- astic about the Mardi Gras, Mrs. Schoch advised the Circus Club. A bonita senorita, lovely Miss Smith in- cited an interest in the language of our Spanish neighbors. Spanish students hope to put their knowledge to good use in their travels someday. Mrs. Smith kept her classes lively and inter- esting for the sophomores. Her methods of teaching helped her students improve their read- ing, writing, and speaking. Knitting and cro- cheting in her club added many pleasurable hours to the year for its members. Sound your French ul Against a background of colorful travel posters, French I students Mary Claire McNearny, Jim Simmons and Carole Wolfe tried to please their instructor with their pronunciation. Gene Foster, Barb Bolton and Tony Chiarelli re- ceived some special tutoring from Miss Mottey about Chaucer and Spenser. They tried to ignore the bi- monthly vocabulary words on the blackboard. The tiles in Miss Mottey's room held a wealth of information! Pete Gardner hunted for part of his jour- nalism assignment while Joe Girard waited his turn to get his book report. Mrs. Schoch's English classes were engrossed in short stories. Nancy Maxwell received an interpreta- tion, Jon Peterson and Donna Sundahl discussed a ques- tion. Bill Nick was smiling-he must have had an idea! Seventeen . .

A good background of English fundamentals is essential not only for professional people, but also for the skilled workman in his daily usage of his native tongue.

'filery why katie a wherefore The biology room was no place for the squeamish. Avid students examined thoroughly the various phyla of spermatophytes, pteridophytes, bryophytes and thal- lophytes, and recorded observations in their notebooks. Fascinating business! Martha Mackie, Sue Bifano and Fern Larson experi- mented with the specific gravity apparatus while Dick Evans noted the results in his workbook. You need steady hands and careful eyes, girls! Contracts are confusing affairs, so Mr. Keller had to explain them over and over. Doc Russell Bebe An- , derson and Joyce McElhattan received some special in- struction in their business law class. Eighteen Barbara Bauer read that Triangles BCE nad BDF are congruent while Stephen Foster pointed them out cn the blackboard. Mr. Downing's plane geometry classes were certainly interesting, although not easy. -fr 'A' if if 'A' 'A' The development of science formed the backdrop of modern civilization. In this atomic age, one must have a basic knowl- edge of the principles involved in scientific living. Our science department did its part in helping students understand the basic ideas which enable them to enioy peace and avert war. Miss Allen, our eliicient dynamo, sur- rounded budding biologists with the frac- rance of both frogs and flowers. Her enthu- siasm combined with her humorous illus 'f'- tions fired the interest of her classes. She advised and guided the senior Barker fdi- tors while training the iunior and sopho- more staFf members. The Barker staff bo'h admires and appreciates her ability in yea'- book producing. Mr. Barnhart approached his subiects of related sciences and biology in such an entertaining way that, before his classes knew it, they were as interested in the work as he was. As the Junior class advisor, he led the juniors in their election of officers and their class activities. lt was Mr. Cummings who caused the frowns of perplexity so often seen on the faces of college prep seniors. He held the distinction of teaching a different subiect every period. Solid geometry, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, and oil laboratory filled his daily agenda. The coach, a very popular man around school, mixed math with football. Mr. Den- ning taught related mathematics and sci- ence, not to slight his classes in social stu- dies. Many students remembered him from
